This is Rho Ophiuchi setting over one of the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks, as imaged from a High Peak itself. Getting here requires hiking with all my heavy gear.
I threw my camera on my tracker and shot with my Z 70-200 2.8 S zoomed to 85mm. I used was my trusty 6 year old Z6 which is Ha modified, but that doesn't make much of a difference for this image. I took about 19 images total for this completed shot. 18 were tracked stacked for Rho at 2 minutes per shot, then 1 for a blue hour foreground taken in the exact same camera position.
Please ensure to practice Leave no Trace principles if you plan to visit the ADK.
